A Virtual Private Network helps you get around this problem by changing your IP address, making your laptop, tablet or smartphone appear to be in a different country.

Ukraine vs Sweden: Preview

Ukraine secured their play-off place by finishing second in qualifying Group D, six points behind group winners and World Cup contenders France.

They meet Sweden in Valencia today for the right to face Poland or Albania next week. The four teams in Path B are each two wins away from joining the Netherlands, Japan and Tunisia in Group F at the World Cup 2026 finals.

Sweden were abysmal in their qualifying group, drawing twice and not winning a single match against Switzerland, Kosovo and Slovenia.

Instead, they earned their alternative path towards the World Cup by performing rather better in the latest running of the Nations League. They won Group C1 to achieve promotion to League B, but this World Cup chance is the real reward.

These are only occasional foes and have never met in World Cup competition. The last two fixtures, both won by Ukraine, were at the European Championship in 2012 and 2021.

Five years on from that extra-time win at Hampden Park, Ukraine are calling Valencia home for a match that feels just as significant. Based on recent form, Serhiy Rebrov's men might just have the edge.

With Alexander Isak still injured, Sweden head coach Graham Potter's great hope in front of goal will be Viktor Gyokeres. The 27-year-old has scored 11 goals in the Premier League this season.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Ukraine 1-0 Sweden

This one could be a claustrophobic encounter and could easily go to the wire. We're backing a narrow Ukraine victory.
